Ian W Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 This requires patching system files. To perform this operation, a third-party tool, such as UXTheme Patcher, is required. It would be wise to create a System Restore point before proceeding with the program.There are two Windows 8 themes available at Deviantart, by a user called mare-m.Windows 8 Release Preview theme:http://mare-m.deviantart.com/art/Windows-8-Release-Preview-Theme-for-Windows-7-312530311This theme gives you the best of both worlds, so to speak: The translucency of Windows Aero, while removing reflections and flattening corners and gradients.Windows 8 RTM theme:http://mare-m.deviantart.com/art/Windows-8-RTM-Theme-for-Windows-7-318932206This theme gives you the appearance of Windows 8 RTM.Follow the provided instructions included with each theme. This involves placing the files included within the respective Theme folder, into the C:Windows\Resources\Themes directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
